Title: The loud calls of black-and-white colobus monkeys: their adaptive and taxonomic significance in light of new data
Abstract: Writing in the original Old World Monkeys volume, Struhsaker (1970) demonstrated for the first time how the loud calls of primates, analyzed with sound spectrograms, can be used in phylogenetic analysis, particularly to understand better the relationships within a genus or species-group. Struhsaker's study built on the work of Marler (1957) and others who had used vocalizations in the study of non-primate taxa. Struhsaker's analysis has been followed by many other primate studies, including those of Wilson and Wilson (1975) on leaf-monkeys (Presbytis), Marshall and Marshall (1976) and Mitani (1987) on gibbons (Hylobates), Oates and Trocco (1983) on black-and-white colobus, Snowdon et al. (1986) on lion tamarins (Leontopithecus), Gautier (1988) on guenons (Cercopithecus), Zimmermann (1990) on galagos (Galagonidae), and Whitehead (1995) on howler monkeys (Alouatta).
